Geohot first released the 3GS Jailbreak solution and the Dev Team, who initially planned on releasing their version of the Jailbreak after Apple released iPhone 3.1 firmware had no other choice but to release it immediately! Dev Team’s redsn0w handles the jailbreak for your iPhone 3GS more like the 3G and 2G variations.

Click here for a simple and quick guide to get you up and running with this revolutionary iPhone 3GS jailbreak. Don’t hesitate to post a quick comment if you need help with this. I will try to reply near-instantly!

I personally prefer Geohot’s jailbreak for the iPhone 3GS since it takes less than 3 minutes to get you up and running without huge downloads or .ipsw files! It is a simple click and jailbreak application available for both Windows and Macs. Some were having issues with hacktivating their iPhones using Geohot’s jailbreak. They may resort to redsn0w posted on this page for better results.

I have iPhone 3G. It was locked i successfully unlock with 3.0 custom firmware which was download from ilikemyiphone.com. My phone was quite working fine from last one month but yesterday i saw its start searching network so i noticed that my iphone WiFi and Bluetooth buttons were grayed color means disabled so i tried to restore firmware 3.0 but my phone hanged in restore mode. Apple logo appear and spanning ball start to restore but when it goes end after that nothing done for long time. i tried both 3.0 and 3.0.1 OS to restore and change the system but problem remains the same.
I also tried redsn0w when I browse the firmware IPSW it start process and give error message "Unable to recognize specified IPSW". I tried both 0.7.2 and 0.8 version on different two PCs but error is same.
If anyone knows the issue please guide me.
Thanks in advance

Simple : When browsing for ipsw in redsn0w browse the 3.0 firmware and it works a charm!
